Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from John G. Paton, Missionary to the New Hebrides, Vol. 2: An Autobiography
Two whole Chapters, as outlined by my brother, I am sorrowfully necessitated to omit, so that the life-story itself may not be too much enlarged or overloaded. The one refers to The Kanaka, or Labour Traffic in the South Seas and the other to Annexation, and the Future of the New Hebrides. Both are Of vital import among the Public Questions of the day; and, in the discussion of both, his position and opportunities have led him to take a not inconsiderable share. But the claims of what may more properly be regarded as the Personal Narrative were paramount; and the allotted space, within the limits Of this volume, left me, for the present at least, no other choice.
